This might seem a bit out of left field for our site, but I think it's a fascinating project that deserves some recognition, so… Mike Yamada & Victoria Ying, a husband and wife art duo, have teamed up with Ying's brother Jonathan to create "Curiosities: An Illustrated History of Ancestral Oddity." This full-color, "fully illustrated 96-page hardcover" book "tells the story of a pair of kids who inherit a spooky old house from a long lost uncle. The house is full to bursting with mysterious doo-dads and trinkets. Each room being a strange, personally-curated monument to a crazy ancestor. A Cabinet of Curiosities!" And as this protagonist siblings explore their family history through "the weird and fascinating remnants of long-gone relatives," the discover relatives who were "Pirate Queens, Wizards, Overly skilled Lion Tamers, and at least one eccentric taxidermist."

Call me a sucker, but I love this idea and want this book. Fortunately, it's already exceeded it's goal on Kickstarter so now everything is merely gravy… Check it out HERE. And a mere $25 will score you a copy of the book, so get on it!
